A Cow on the Range.

Cattle are queer creatures, and it takes a
great deal Of experience to learn their ways.
In cboo ing a range, a novice would be likely
70 prefer a level plain, where grass could
grow in all places. but the old cattleman
would infinitely prefer a rolling country, IL
possible with high bluffs here and there The
reason Of this is that snow is likely 10 cover
the entire surface Of a level plain. but is
nearly certain TO I've blown from the tops and
at least one side of hills, leaving the grass
bare. a cow is not an animal OF remarkable
intellectual attainmeuts, and will starve when
the ground is covered with snow an inch deep.

strokes Of its hoofs would uncover the grass
A horse or mule will do this. but it seems be-

give excellent shelter in storms, and prevent
cattle from drifting. 1t used TO be the opinion
of cattlemen that the northwestern country
was too cold for cattle, but experience has

4 Lond Call for ResiG

There is no one thing that n New Eng.
land man misses so much in New York as
plate of good, old-fashioned baked beans.
1t is estimated that there are 100. 900
strangers here every day. and large
number come from the eastern states.
And yet with the constant call day after
day for baked beans the hotel men and
restaurant keepers have made no progress
toward supplying the demand. Outside
Of half a dozen places, there is nowhere In
the metropolis that this famous dish can
be had. There are, of course, thousands
Of eating houses where baked beans are
regularly served. But they are such
beans! They are cooked in huge shallow
pans, are rs white as milk, and when they
are dished out they look rs il they had
been ''squashed' in q mortar. There is
never any pork in them, no juice, and they
are as tasteleSs rs water. They are al
ways served with a great slab Of boiled
beef or ham, and to person who has
been accustomed to the good old Massa
chusetts dish they are delusiOn and an
absurd joke Still. this is all the New
Workers know of baked beans They eat
them now and then and suppose they are
iasting the real thing. and in their ignor-
ance wonder why the fabled sustenance of
Boston is SO popular. Taking into consid
,ration the great number of New England
people here, ii seems rs if there was n for
tune in store for the man who would come
10 New York and give the people taste
of the good. old fashioned Boston baked
beans. Republican.

Ready for Hard Work,

Mr.. J. G. Pangborn, who was for many
years prominently connected with the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad from which
he retired a little time ago, is now in town
telling all his old friends that he has de
termined To st>p making fortunes for
other folks and try TO construct one for
himself. He is as original in his personal
affairs as he used to be in business, and so
before he undertook this new venture he
went IL the doctors of q large life insur-
ance company and said &c them: See
here, doctors, | want To 90 into scheme
that will take no end of energy and hard
work. am 40 years old, and want to
know whether my physical condition is
such that l can afford to pitch in and
work like horse for ten years" The
doctors stripped him and pounded him
and listened to his heart and lungs, and
ended by telling him that he was in as
good health as the average youth of 25,
and needn't be afraid to paddle his own
canoe.-New York Sun.

One day when Johnston's army was in
Mississippi the soldiers noticed a very
meek looking cow tied to a tree right in
the middle of the camps. They thought
nothing unusual was the matter, how
ever. That night 30, 900 men turned in"
and went To sleep, little dreaming that the
old COW was going TO disturb anybody.
About midnight some practical jOkers
tied brushy limb to the cows tail and
gave her a start in life. She did not dis
appoint the expectations of her friends, but
made wild dash through the darkness,
trampling over the sleeping soldiers and
dragging the brush over their prostrate
forms. The howls and yells that followed
in their wake added TO her terror, and
faster and faster she went until she had
run over the biggest part Of Johnston's
army. To add To the confusion. nobody
knew exactly what was the matter The
only thing anybody did know was that
wide streak of profanity was running
through camp in n zigzag fashion, but
only the practical jokers could guess the
cause. Next day there was big demand
for sticking plaster.-Atlanta Constitu

A new style Of entertainment has found
a great deal of favor in Chicago, and see

equally popular here. 1t is called pro

four are seated. At the end of each course
